Top pick: #7 (LAKESIDE ROAD) - Nicely spotted by her trainer (Jeanne Jeannont) as he sent here from Philadelphia Park to face fellow Jersey-breds. Very sharp at present he's coming off a pair of solid efforts (a win and a second-place finish) against "open" starter-allowance foes. Takes this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #2 (Trust Luc) - The main speed will be making his third start back off a lengthy layoff. Much improved last out as he set all the pace and was awarded the win via a disqualification. Tough on the front-end.
3rd pick: #6 (Beacon Beach) - Lightly-raced runner showed some ability last season at two and finished second recently in his first start of '09 after coming back from an eight-month layoff. Win candidate.
